The Insane Pursuit of Perfection · 2:51pm Jan 2nd, 2019
As I continue to work on the first chapter of my second story, I took a moment to take yet another look at my first story. It was actually the second one I had written for the site, but the first one was just way too much of a copy of the most of the stories I had read, so I didn't publish it. In reading back through story two, I noticed several minor errors in how I had written the dialogue. They weren't serious ones, but they annoyed me some, and I was tempted to make corrections. But, there was someone reading it ay the time, so I held off.
Now I will admit here, I have tweaked that story on several occasions. But, am I being ridiculous in doing so? I have noticed other stories out there that go out with misspellings and odd word usage, and it doesn't appear that the authors seem too worried about it. Does anyone have a thought about just how much tinkering is appropriate? When should you say enough?
